As for me, the most straightforward way of sending mail is to use
sendmail. If you're operating in UNIX, that's peanuts, especially perl -
open( SENDMAIL,"|`which sendmail`" );
print SENDMAIL ... # Don't forget your headers, as in RFC822
close SENDMAIL; # This commits the delivery, otherwise it will wait
until your process terminates, which is probably not what you want :-)
Syntax is approximate, you WANT to check it :-)
In other cases/operating systems, it would be probably better to talk to
sendmail too - you just telnet (open socket connection) to the nearby
UNIX' port 25 and go ahead as RFC822 says.
Draft Java implementation is available on request.
